UpSpring C-Panty C-Section Recovery Underwear with Silicone Panel for Incision Care

Product Information

Our collection of leakproof postpartum underwear includes three styles: bikini, hipster panties, and high-waisted smoothing briefs. C Panty is a convenient, comfortable way to provide ongoing graded compression, which has been shown to help reduce swelling and increase mobility. Having leakproof postpartum underwear on hand after you give birth means you’ll have a comfortable alternative to adult diapers and postpartum mesh underwear. If you feel an impending sneeze or cough, even if you’re about to laugh, gently hold your abdomen near your surgery incision for support. You made me laugh, want to puke and terrified me yet put me at ease all in a matter of a paragraph or two!

So, let me — a perinatal and physical therapist with 19 years of experience — tell you about a few tricks that will help your incisions heal while minimizing swelling and pain simultaneously. Funny, I didn't really wear maternity knickers at all during my pregnancy, only really after my ELCS and a few months down the line! They are soft and smooth with an excellent variable design and a lovely lace band that fully covers your post-baby tummy without harming your scar or skin.Cosmopolitan participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. Stretching and moulding to your figure, we not only help relieve postpartum pains, but give gentle compression. The silicone is durable, washable, and integrated into the panty, eliminating the need for scar gel or scar gel pads.

Unlike most sites, we offer an ad-free, sponsor-free environment, so you always know you’re getting a full dose of honesty. However, your body changes and optimal support throughout the process of healing and recovery post pregnancy is imperative. These babies are disposable, so you don't have to worry about doing laundry while you're recovering.These specially designed undies can help you protect the incision area and keep it clean of bacteria, while the compression helps to reduce the swelling and support your weakened stomach muscles for easier mobility and faster recovery. Belly Bandit Belly Shield - Black The Belly Shield™ is a companion piece to the popular Belly Bandit® post-pregnancy belly wrap (sold separately).

We respect everyone’s right to express their thoughts and opinions as long as they remain respectful of other community members, and meet What to Expect’s Terms of Use. If you’re recovering from a C-section, our underwear sits nice and high protecting you, avoiding damage and giving ultimate support. Week six to 12 tends to be a safer time to switch to underwear made using synthetic fabrics, if you’d like. You can also opt for more or less elastic materials, depending on what you are looking for; they allow a flexibility of the fabric which can be very appreciable for a woman who has just undergone this type of operation. You’re getting the hang of nursing, swaddling, and changing diapers — but what about the big cesarean incision right in the middle of your abdominals?

A post-caesarean girdle is a compression garment used to support the abdominals and caesarean incision area after childbirth. I used some blooming marvellous ones I think (from mothercare) the compression was great, I'm actually still wearing them under my jeans to hold everything in.
